OHA diploma level courses that are available through home study offer full credit towards OHA's Diploma in Health Care Management. Courses that can be completed entirely through home study are indicated with a (Home Study) designation beside the course name.
Participants who register for a home study course receive the following: a self-instructional manual, case project guidelines, and unrestricted instructor access. The amount of time and effort to complete a home study course depends on the individual participant, but on average it takes about thirty hours to complete a course, including reading, completing worksheets and carrying out the case project.
Participants can register anytime throughout the year. Home Study materials will be sent to participants within two weeks of receipt of registration form and fee.
Important: To obtain a credit towards OHA's Diploma in Health Care Management, home study courses must be completed within six months of receipt of materials. If necessary, an extension of three months may be granted. Individual requests for extension must be in writing and are subject to an administration fee of $60.00 + $7.80 (HST) = $67.80. Only one three-month extension will be allowed for each course.
Home study participants may transfer at any time to a classroom based version of the same course. An administration fee of $90.00 + $11.70 (HST) = $101.70 will apply.
